Here is a flyer I recently received. It is filled with great information/links to organizations that support non violence against children.

Namaste, Tammy

WWSF - Manifesto 2010

Because we, as concerned citizens and aware of our shared responsibility, pledge to be vigilant in our daily lives, in our families, places of work, in our communities and places of worship, to help prevent and denounce abuse and violence committed against children and young people, by:

* Prohibiting abuse and violence in all its forms (physical, sexual, emotional and neglect)

* Raising awareness that abuse and violence against children is a violation of children's rights and encouraging everyone to challenge it

* Promoting non-violent values and examples of good prevention measures

* Sharing effective ways for prevention of abuse and combating violence through legislation and national plans

* Regularly reminding UN member states of the overarching UN Study recommendations and urging them to demonstrate political will by providing adequate resources to deliver results.

BE INVOLVED! EVERYONE HAS A STAKE IN PREVENTION.
